Korean actor Yoon Si-yoon will release a photo book in Japan in the summer, according to his agency Taxi Entertainment on Thursday.

"Yoon was in Thailand last week to shoot the photographs for his pictorial," the CEO of his agency Taxi told 10Asia over the phone. "The concept of the book will be the everyday life of the actor and it will go on sale in Japan sometime in June."

Born Yoon Dong-goo, Yoon made his debut in 2009 through MBC's sitcom "High Kick 2" alongside Korean actors Kim Hye-seong and Kim Bum. He also appeared in horror flick "Death Bell 2: Bloody Camp" the following year.

He rose to stardom as the male lead in KBS' hit TV series "Bread, Love and Dreams" which breached viewership ratings of 50 percent during its run and won him the second prize award at KBS' year-end awards ceremony.

Yoon is currently working shooting a new film tentatively titled "Mr. Baek" in which he plays a genius golfer who falls into a slump after a freak car accident and begins teaching golf on a small island.
